Vice President Pence is Coming to WI to Promote GOP Tax Plan

WHITE HOUSE
Vice President Mike Pence

One day after President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress announced a tax overhaul plan, Vice President Mike Pence is hitting the road to promote the proposal. Pence is making stops in Michigan and Wisconsin Thursday.

The vice president will appear with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker at Weldall Manufacturing in Waukesha. They'll tour the facility, then Pence will talk to people from the business community, families and local officials about why GOP leaders are pushing the tax overhaul.

In the evening, Pence will appear at a fundraiser, which will raise money for the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee. People will have to pay $2,700 to get in the door. It will cost $10,000 to take a photo with the vice president. Couples who wish to dine with Pence will have to contribute $35,000.
